26 Date Night Beauty Ideas Straight from Your Fave Celebs

Despite our generations’ somewhat laidback approach to relationships (and their labels), there’s no denying that the first date is kind of a #bigdeal. Whether you’re going in blind bravery or kick-starting a longtime flirtation, the first real rendezvous will likely suggest whether you’ll soon be sharing your couch with someone other than your popcorn bowl. Talk about pressure, amirite?

Let’s take a step back here, though, and discuss what we’re all thinking when a potentially romantic situation presents itself: What beauty ‘look’ does a girl go for on such an occasion? The au naturel Gigi thing? Or perhaps full-on glam à la Hailee? Somewhere in between? Well if you’re unsure, don’t worry — ‘cause we obv have you covered. Ahead, check out 26 totally achievable first date makeup and hair ideas straight from our favorite celebrity babes. Now if only we had their clothes, too…

Wanna make a bold statement that’ll likely (read: most def) wow your date? Rock a red lip and nearly nothing else — the crimson color will make an even stronger impact against clean skin and bare eyes. Oh and if you’re feeling extra daring, try pulling your hair into a high pony à la Gigi to show off your gorgeous face.

Take a page out of King Kylie’s makeup book and go for a bubblegum pink pout and extra-defined lashes — we suggest adding some individual falsies for an ultra-flirty feel.

Fact: A low, subtly messy pony is the definition of perfect first date hair — especially if you really want them to notice your face.

Selena always slays in the makeup department and this stunning natural look is certainly no exception. More importantly: Peachy lips paired with bronzy skin and lids is a sultry combo that’s sure to leave your date speechless.

On the flip side, if you know you’ll be doing something super-casual, why not go the natural route with clean skin, lots-o-lashes, and some clear lip balm? The girl-next-door look is always a good go-to.

Don’t be afraid to have fun and go all-out with your makeup — after all, it’s a pretty solid expression of your true self, no? This shimmery cocoa-colored shadow look, as seen on the lovely miss Baldwin, is exactly what we’re talking about. Oh and that updo? Swoon.

A sky-high pony and a feline flick are sure to give you all the confidence you need to slay the first date game. Now if only we all had Bella’s killer bone structure…

Would you dare to go bare on the first date? Because we’re thinking, why not? Just because Bella’s a model doesn’t mean we can’t all look completely babely sans makeup. The first step: getting your skin as on-point as possible.
